Teaching with Historic Places

Heritage Education Services Program

Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) uses properties listed in the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places to enliven history, social studies, geography, civics, and other subjects. TwHP has created a variety of products and activities that help teachers bring historic
places into the classroom.

Landscape Architecture

To gain an appreciation for our public parks and to explore subjects such as landscape design, urbanization, and conservationism, Teaching with Historic Places has posted on the web lesson plans that consider important aspects of landscape architecture. These lessons, based on sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places, are free and ready for immediate classroom use by students in history and social studies classes.
